Sorry to see you go…

After two weeks of painfully dealing (or should I say ‘negotiating’) with the worst customs in the whole world (they refuse to budge and insisted on charging an arm and a leg in duties and taxes… for a pair of shoes!!), the Lanvin sneakers I bought finally arrived.

But alas, they are the wrong size.

What a beautiful pair of sneakers… I saw the knock-off version at Zara a few weeks ago and it pales in comparison to the real deal. Now I’m gonna have to send them back and wait for another pair to be sent to me. I’m soo sad. I honestly feel like I’m parting away with a child!

It’s alright. At least it gives me time to find black grosgrain ribbon to use as shoelaces.

I HOPE NOT!
that’s like my biggest fear.
this whole customs duties & taxes thing is so sketchy in the first place.
i really don’t think customs should charge taxes when it’s for PERSONAL USE.
i’m still waiting for a reply from them whether i can get a refund or not. i’m returning this shipment afterall!!!

yeah.. that sucks big time! oh you better pray the customs will pass the next one.. if ever, that’ll be one of the most expensive pair of Lanvin Sneaks ever bought becoz of the “double” taxes and all!
but im sure its worth a wait! dang! i wish i have those.. :(
take a pic wearing it once you get the right pair!!!! :D
